This got me interested: a Côtes du Rhône, which I generally like a lot, with high ratings for 10€. The grapes from Les Champauvins are grown directly next to Chateau de Beaucastel (CdP).
Made from organic 60% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre; high15% ABV. Decanted for about 1h in the glass. It still had some irritating CO2 bubbles (steel tank, no barrique!) initially. Beautiful silky palate with blackberries, smooth tannins, pepper and licorice. Medium to long finish.
Great QPR, should have bought more bottles, as it is sold out now.

Last bottle was the best. Not a CdP but really good value.
